The guy is telling the truth.
From 17th Mar 2011 RNS, "Ascent Resources plc, the AIM listed oil and gas exploration and production company, announces that it has raised £17 million, before expenses, by way of a Firm Placing of 100,000,000 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 5p per share and a Conditional Placing of a further 240,000,000 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 5p per share"
So yes, he could have bought at 6.5p and don't forget there's been a few consolidations along the way.
